Overview

The AsDoc Task provides Rake support for the asdoc documentation engine. If a Sprout::MXMLCTask or Sprout::COMPCTask are found as prerequisites to the AsDoc task, AsDoc will inherit the source_path and library_path from those tasks. You can also configure AsDoc normally if you wish.

This configuration might look something like this:

# Create a remote library dependency on the corelib swc.
library :corelib

# Alias the compilation task with one that is easier to type
# task :compile => 'SomeProject.swf'

# Create an MXMLCTask named for the output file that it creates. This task depends on the
# corelib library and will automatically add the corelib.swc to it's library_path
mxmlc 'bin/SomeProject.swf' => :corelib do |t|
  t.input                     = 'src/SomeProject.as'
  t.default_size              = '800 600'
  t.default_background_color  = "#FFFFFF"
  t.source_path               << 'src'
  t.source_path               << 'lib/asunit'
  t.source_path               << 'test'
end

desc "Generate documentation"
asdoc :doc => 'bin/SomeProject.swf'

This configuration will generate documentation in the relative path, ‘doc’, but only if The contents of the documentation directory are older than the sources referenced by the compiler.

    p.description =<<EOF
Links SWC files to the resulting application SWF file. The compiler only links in those classes for the SWC file that are required.

The default value of the library-path option includes all SWC files in the libs directory and the current locale. These are required.

To point to individual classes or packages rather than entire SWC files, use the source-path option.

If you set the value of the library-path as an option of the command-line compiler, you must also explicitly add the framework.swc and locale SWC files. Your new entry is not appended to the library-path but replaces it.

You can use the += operator to append the new argument to the list of existing SWC files.

In a configuration file, you can set the append attribute of the library-path tag to true to indicate that the values should be appended to the library path rather than replace it.
EOF
  end

  add_param(:load_config, :file) do |p|
    p.description =<<EOF
Specifies the location of the configuration file that defines compiler options.

If you specify a configuration file, you can override individual options by setting them on the command line.

All relative paths in the configuration file are relative to the location of the configuration file itself.

Use the += operator to chain this configuration file to other configuration files.

EOF
  end

    p.description =<<EOF
Adds directories or files to the source path. The Flex compiler searches directories in the source path for MXML or AS source files that are used in your Flex applications and includes those that are required at compile time.

You can use wildcards to include all files and subdirectories of a directory.

To link an entire library SWC file and not individual classes or directories, use the library-path option.

The source path is also used as the search path for the component compiler's include-classes and include-resource-bundles options.

You can also use the += operator to append the new argument to the list of existing source path entries.
